Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 173,551, dated February15, 1876; application filed July 17, 1s75.

To all whom it may poncer-n: r I

Be it known that I, DAVID LEIB, of Rich Hill, in the county of Knox andState of Ohio, have invented a new and Improved Flouring- Mill, of whichthe following is a specification:

In the accompanying drawing, Figure 1 represents a sectional sideelevation of my improved flouring-mill, and Fig. 2 is a top view of thesame with runner detached.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

The in vention relates to an adjustable flanged ring surrounding thebedstone, and provided with a delivery-spout, as hereinafter described.

In the draiving,'A represents the supporting-frame, B the bed-stone, andG the run nor, of my improved fiouring-mill. The frame A is made of ironor other materiahot' a strong flanged or other shaped base part, a, to

which diagonal pillars or braces b are bolted. The braces are preferablytwisted to increase their strength, forming braces and posts combined.To ,their upper ends is bolted the flanged cylindrical top part 61, onwhich the bed-stone is seated. The top part d is cast or otherwiseprovided with three standards or arms, 6, each with a bottom and sideset-screw, e, the bottom set-screws serving to level the bed-stone, theside screws to get the spindle in perfect tram. The spindle D is seatedin a diametrical bridge-piece of the base part of frame A, and adjustedto vertical position by a lever and adjusting screw-rod, or in othersuitable manner. Below the upper conical end of the spindle is keyed,,in solid manner, the driver E, which is made of ring shape. with adiametrically-connecting bridge, having a central perforation for thespindle, and two guide-pins, f, equidistant therefrom, to secure thebalance-ring of the runner thereon- The balance-ring G tits by acircumferential recess 0n the driver E, and by side holes f of itsdiame-trical bridge on the guide-pins of the driver. A central bushingor hub of the balance-ring has an adjustable plug, g, that is rigidlysecured by a clamp-screw, g, for being set by its conically-recessedpart on the spindle end, so that the weight of the runner maybalance-ring is fitted into the eye of the runher and cemented thereto,being adjusted to perfect tram with the bed-stone for working. A flangedring, F, fits around the bed'stone, and is secured thereto by suitablefasteningscrews,being adjustable to any position. A top casing, F, isscrewed to the flanged ring E, which has an aperture and spout, It, thatdelivers the flour at any desired po'nt by the adjustability of thering. The driver and balance-ring secures the regular and true motion ofthe runner when all the parts are set into proper tram.

Having thus described my invention, I claim 'as new and desire to secureby Letters Patent The combination of bed-stone with adjustable flangedring, having delivery-spout and top casing to discharge at any desiredpoint, substantially as set forth.
